                Every 
                  winter creatures small and large are driven by their biological 
                  urge to take shelter during those long dark months. This urge 
                  goes back to the memory and a longing for a return to the womb 
                  or the egg, our first form of protection. 
                During 
                  this time, creatures seek the cover of shadows, the refuge of 
                  subterranean burrows, the warmth of another's skin close to 
                  the body. They yearn for downy textures to comfort, that remind 
                  them of the mother's breast, and layers to wrap the body like 
                  so many blankets.
